AT THE GOETIA MANSION...
Meanwhile, Balin and Via were still having a nap-time together in her room, with the princess softly stroking the head of the little boy snuggled into her feathers.
But the peace and quiet soon came to a close when a loud crashing noise sent the two flying out of the bed, wide awake.
"What was that, Octavia?!" asked Balin in surprise.
"I don't know, darling. Are you alright?" Via then began scanning Balin's body to see if he hadn't been bruised or stabbed by her beak or talons in the scare.
Stolas then rushed into the room to see that the two were a-okay. "Oh thank goodness you're both okay!" he wrapped them up in a tight hug.
"DAD! Can't...! Breathe...!" choked Via.
"Oh. Sorry." Stolas then chuckled putting them back down.
The three then heard the crashing sounds again, and Stolas soon got an idea of what it was, having sounded a lot more like scurrying to him.
"You know the drill, owlette." he gulped. "You two stay in here."
Stolas then left the room grabbing one of her old princess wands for protection.
Using his hearing as he wandered through the halls with his trusty wand, Stolas was able to find where the scurrying noises were coming from the last room of all three corners in the hall.
So with another gulp for bravery, Stolas quietly picked up the pace and made it to the room.
He stood up against the wall next to the room and tried to turn his head 360-degrees like Via to peak through the door, but it was no use. So he instead just turned his head to the side of the doorway.
What he saw was the rattling tail of the serpentine imp from earlier on as he peaked through the clothing lines trying to find at least one or two Goetia possessions. Reacting with shock, Stolas tried to tiptoe away from the room knowing that tail from anywhere.
He was only a couple of rooms away until he heard a gunshot coming from the room, which Via and Balin heard from inside hers.
"DAD!" Via gasped hearing the shot.
"Was that a GUN?!" gasped Balin too.
"Shhhhh. It's okay." she soothed him.
The serpentine then walked out of the guest room, showing himself to Stolas cackling and swinging his gun in his hand.
"You... STRIKER!" he growled in owl noises of rage.
"Gotta say, Your Highness. I thought you wouldn't react again, being so stupid as to try and escape like that." Striker said evilly. "Typical royal behaviour. Too willing to flight rather than fight!"
"Yeah? Well this time, I'm willing AND prepared." said Stolas, holding the princess wand in his hand.
His eyes widened, Striker than laughed at the sight of him holding the children's toy. Though Stolas wasn't expecting that reaction, he still used it to his advantage by throwing the pointy end into his head, causing him to scream in agony.
"AAAGHH! SON OF A BITCH!" he shouted as Stolas went into attack mode and ran up to him in his full demon form.
As Striker began shooting at him, the owl prince evaded every single shot until he got close enough to slap him to the ground with his wing. When he did, Stolas then bought himself some time to run straight to Via's room.
Striker pulled the wand out of his skull and snapped it in half before grabbing his gun, which he then noticed wasn't his usual Carmine-Crafted-Blessing-Tipped rifle. Instead, it was just a firearm.
"DAMMIT!" Striker shouted, soon grabbing out some blessed rope to try and lasso him.
"VIA! Get Balin out of here!" Stolas opened his daughter's bedroom door again. "But dad...!"
Hearing her voice as they ran out of the room, Striker than looked up to see Via carrying Balin in her arms.
"Well, well... long time no see, princess." he grinned. "Your mother sends her regards."
Seeing Striker, Balin then screamed and planted his face into Via's shoulder, frightened by his appearance.
"My... looks like I was right. There really is a little human among us." Striker then chuckled evilly.
Enraged, Via then grabbed a frying pan from her room and threw it at Striker's hand. "Hehehehehe. That tickled." he giggled feeling looney from the throw.
"Quick! Get to I.M.P!" he exclaimed, opening a portal to their current location.
"Be careful, dad!" she replied, carrying him as she ran through the portal, leaving him to handle Striker.
Stolas then turned back and changed into his demon form again, doing just that.
AT THE HAZBIN HOTEL...
"I'm not the only one discomforted by this, right?" asked Moxxie nervously.
Missi Zilla was now sniffing all over the three imps, having picked up a slight of Balin's humanly scent on them not long ago during their meeting with the Hazbins.
"Mr. Blitzø... is there something else about I.M.P we don't know right now?" asked Vaggie.
"What? Of course not!" grinned Blitzø nervously. "So what if she smells a human? We work on Earth all the time."
"Yeah. Hell, we just had a hit before coming down here." added Millie.
"What about her? Did she come with you?" asked Zeezi, pointing at Loona. "Because she definitely smells of human!"
"Maybe it's just my human disguise. I put it on all the time up there." she replied flatly on her phone, but anxiously.
"Oh really? Well, that soothes only some of my concerns." shrugged Vaggie out loud.
"She does make quite the valid point, Zeezi." called Alastor, as she stroked her dinosaur tail.
Soon, the entire gang, except Zilla, heard half the hotel's guests lining up at the top of the staircase in their PJs to see what's going on, surprisied to see the Dino overlord in their midsts.
"The fuck is this?!" gasped Husk.
"Hehehehehe, Husk, 'preschool' sinners, present."
"Wow! Is that a dinosaur?" one of the preschool aged sinners babbled from the crowd.
"OK, nothing to see here everyone!" Charlie spoke to the crowd, loudly and nervously. "Go 'bout your business, get some sleep!"
"Wait... some of you look familiar." one of the sinner demons said.
Just then, Loona's ears and nose started getting a twitch of Balin's scent too, mixed with Via's.
"Oh no." she hesitated, as Alastor then noticed her, constantly looking back and forth at the specific direction where the scent was.
"Hmm..." Alastor then leaned closer to her to speak through his teeth in a lower volume. "I know what you're thinking, bow-wow. I can smell it too. But don't worry, I can help you make it so my friends don't find out. As long as they only don't show themselves, you'll be fine."
"I don't know what you're talking about." replied Loona flatly at first, before whispering to him too. "But you better be right."
Soon, Niffty spotted an old arch-nemesis of hers on the hotel carpet.
A cockroach.
With her trusty dagger, she kneeled down to kill it, but it quickly crawled away with her trying to stab it repeatedly.
Via and Balin were about to walk about to the crew, until they remembered they were speaking with the princess of Hell and a dinosaur currently sniffing out human flesh. So they hid behind a trolley filled with so much luggage, no-one could see them.
"Don't make a sound, Balin." Via whispered to him, making him nod in obedience.
Suddenly, her bird-of-prey instincts came online too, sensing a few more cockroaches next to them from the dark of the halls. So putting Balin down, she tried to peck at them a few times, but they proved too fast for her too.
"Ooh! Children! BONUS!" giggled Niffty creepily.
Before she got get a stab of one, Via then caught that bug in her beak.
"Hey! What the hec..?" the little maid sounded shocked. "Let go!"
The two then tugged back and forth at the little bug like dogs with a bone, until an all coked-up Angel Dust noticed it.
"OK, is everyone going bonkers tonight?" he slurred in his overdose, as everyone looked to the scene.
"VIA?!" gasped Blitzø.
"Via?" Charlie widened her eyes to see the Goetia princess.
As the insect tug-of-war went on, Via grabbed one of the legs of the cockroach then slipped into the luggage, which tumbled down like a game of Jenga to reveal Balin behind it.
One of the bags ironically landed on a bottle of champagne, popping the cork off and washing the make-up right off his human face, making everyone in the room gasp.
"BALIN!" Loona shouted, before covering her mouth.
"I don't fucking believe it." Niffty softly gasped in shock, stepping back to the hazbins.
"Is that a... a human child?" asked Vaggie, with no shock but little surprise.
Balin nervously chuckled. "Hello...?" he waved to everyone in a mouse-like tone.
"He's so... cute!" Charlie calmly smiled with stars in her eyes. "I'll be right back. Nobody hurt him!"
"Charlie?" Vaggie looked at her girlfriend walking over to the kid in confusion.
"Why hello there, baby." the princess cooed, kneeling down to his level. "What are you doing here?"
Balin then flinched a bit, twiddling his fingers in shyness, and Loona slightly noticed it too.
"Are you okay?" she asked in concern. "What's wrong?"
"Psst! Kiddo!" Loona softly called out to him and tapped her snout with a gentle smile, letting him know she could be trusted.
"Oh. I-I'm sorry." the boy took a step back. "I didn't mean to make a mess."
"Hey, come here, little one." Charlie then spoke softly, extending her hand in friendship.
Balin was about to extend his hand next, until...
"Huh. Well, Zeezi, I guess there is a human down here with I.M.P after... all..." Alastor soon felt little bits of drool coming from Zeezi's mouth. "Uhh, babe?" he then looked up to see the dinosaur frozen in surprise, ...and hunger.
Balin started chattering his teeth frightened at the sight of her, as Charlie looked behind her to see it too.
"Balin!" Blitzø tried to run up to him, but then paused in shock seeing the claws unsheathed from Zeezi's shoes.
Piece by piece, Zeezi's predator mode began to kick in, changing each part of her body to a dark feral shade. She soon had black eyes with green dilated pupils and blood oozing from her jaws instead of drool.
"Human...! Meat!" she growled in a sharp evil smirk and a now very dark tone.
"Oh shit..." Alastor shivered taking a couple of steps back.
"Quick!" gasped Cherri, before she, Husk, and Angel both said "INTERFERENCE!" running up to Zeezi together.
"D-D-D-D-DINOSAUR!" screamed Balin, as Charlie held him close to her.
Before the reptile could grab him with her little arms, Husk then dragged her by her blazer.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" Zeezi growled in hanger.
"Get your shit together, Zeezi!" said Husk, struggling to keep her at bay.
"Keep her wrangled there, mate!" called Cherri, as she came prepared with her bombs and threw him close to her face to obstruct her vision.
"Còrrele, everyone! Còrrele!" shouted Vaggie once again in Latin.
The hotel guests started running back to their hotel rooms, with only one or two guests being crushed to blood and guts by her large tail as she stepped backwards from the bombs.
She then fell on the floor next to the fireplace and next to the imps, turning her head to them angrily as her jacket now caught on fire.
"You...! Little APPETISERS!" she growled again.
The I.M.P crew all gasped. "She can still smell him on us! SCATTER!" exclaimed Blitzø, as the others split up trying to hide.
Loona, however, went straight towards Balin and kneeled down to him for a tight hug.
"What the hell are you doing here, kiddo?!" she panicked to him as he was shivering AND choking in her grip.
"There's a problem going on back home, I'll explain later!" stuttered Via.
Alastor tried to hold down Zeezi by her feet with all of his power, while Angel tried to snap her out of her predator mode.
"Zeezi! These aren't food! The human's food!" he yelled to her.
"What the fuck, man?!" Blitzø shouted from behind the couch. "I thought we were friends!"
"Friends?!" Angel then exclaimed feeling offended himself, for obvious reasons.
"FOOD!" Missi soon chomped into Husk's bar, where Moxxie and Millie were hiding.
"MILLIE! LOOK OUT!" exclaimed Moxxie, grabbing Millie's hand with a jolt before the drinks in the bar were all smashed to pieces.
"My booze!" cried Husk. "Goddamn you!" he flipped Missi off in melodrama.
"EVERYBODY, MOVE OUT!" Blitzø kicked open the front door for M and Loona to follow him out.
Even Balin was about to make a run for it.
"Balin, NO!" Via shouted as she scooped him in her arms like a baby.
Blitzø, Moxxie, Millie, and Loona ran from the Hazbin Hotel just in time for Missi to bust her way through the walls.
"GET BACK HERE, HUMAN-FLAVOURED IMPS!" she barked as she began chasing them.
Still carrying Balin in her arms, Via then ran after them as the Hazbin crew watched.
"WATCH OUT FOR THE DOOMSDAY DISTRICT, MATES!" shouted Cherri. "IT'S DANGEROUS!"
The chase was on!
The I.M.P crew were now running through the streets of Pentagram City, screaming as Zeezi gunned straight for them in a T-rex roar. Without realising it, they even ran into the Doomsday District, full of violent turf wars beyond comprehension.
The team kept evading bombs and gunshots, as well as falling debris, in hopes it would get the dinosaur demon off their tails. But instead, she just bashed her way through them.
"AAAHHH!" Moxxie and Blitzø both screamed.
"I JUST WANNA PLAY WITH YA!" Missi screamed in her delusional state.
The imps soon turned a different direction from her, into an old building full of TNT. As they ran through it, Blitzø grabbed out his flint and shot every single box in the building to make it crumble down on top of her as a distraction. But the building began crumbling faster than he thought.
"Blitzø! Stop it!" Millie shouted as the gang continued running.
They soon made it out, jumping into an alleyway in time for the building to collapse, and began running for the streets before Missi peaked over like the giant she was.
"Wassup!" she snarled in her punk-rock self.
"FUCK!" screamed Loona.
Missi tried to grab the four before punching the ground by accident, sending the I.M.P gang flying into the air. She was about to catch them in her mouth, until Millie grabbed the Asmodean crystal and opened a portal to somewhere else.
The gang went through the portal just in time for Missi to chomp, seeing that they've landed in some sort of dusty and abandoned newspaper factory, with vats used to make the paper, printing machines, and a bunch of walk-along railings up above.
"Millie, Millie, Millie, where the hell are we?!" Moxxie began having one of his classic, but very real, panic attacks. "SHE'S GONNA KILL US ALL IF WE DON'T ESCAPE!"
Missi sniffed her way to the building they were hiding in and started chewing off bits and pieces of the roof with her jaws.
As Moxxie spotted an emergency hatch to escape from, Loona then sensed the chewing from above.
"GUYS! She's gnawing!" she exclaimed. "ANYTIME NOW!"
"Then stop fucking around like always and help me out!" grunted Moxxie, trying to rip open the hatch.
"Wait a minute, where's the crystal?!" Millie then gasped, patting her body down for it.
The Asmodean crystal was stuck on the railings of the building where a piece of roof was starting to come off, revealing a smidge of sunlight.
"Okay, okay! Don't panic!" panted Blitzø heavily. "It's gotta be around here somewhere!"
"I see it! Up there!" pointed Loona. "And don't you dare tell me to...!"
"LOONA! FETCH!" the imps all said together.
"Ugh..." the hellhound groaned in annoyance.
Loona started running upstairs to the railings and then ran on all fours to slap the crystal into their hands with her tail, just in time for Blitzø to catch it with his fast reflexes AND for Moxxie to lift the hatch door open.
"Let's go!" he shouted as he held it with all his strength, as everyone jumped into the hatch before grabbing him by his trench-coat.
Missi then ripped the whole roof of the building off to see the imps had escaped once again.
"DAMMIT!" she growled.
Meanwhile...
Octavia and Balin were now trying to search the streets for where the crew could've escaped to, until they saw Missi ripping the rest of the newspaper factory to shreds.
"LOONA!" Balin screamed, before Via shut his mouth.
Missi then perked her head up hearing that and licked her lips with an evil smile, as she then slowly prowled her way towards the two while they ran away from her fast.
She almost caught up to the corner they were on, until seeing a flicker of light appear from another alleyway, Via managed to jump into it just in time for her to make the turn.
The two then got up to see the I.M.P crew piled on each other.
"Guys!" he screamed to the crew, hugging Loona. "I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Shhhhhh. It's okay." Loona wrapped her arms around him in return and consoled him.
"Not yet we're not, hon." panted Millie.
"Against the wall, everyone, QUICK!" Blitzø pointed to the far back of the alley where everyone ran to and crouched down. "Alright, stay incredibly quiet!" he then screamed in a whisper.
"Uhh, pardon me sir, but what was that?" Moxxie scoffed. "Whispering or quiet screaming?"
"I call it 'Shut the hell up Moxx ya baby dick-shit prune!'" the boss poked Moxxie's face multiple times before Missi's footsteps were heard once again. "Now look what your ass did."
Missi then arrived at the alleyway, tilting her head into it as the gang gasped, before shrinking down to a different size since her gigantic one wouldn't be able to fit.
"My, oh, my. What do we have here...?! The whole family of hor'dourves, home for dinner!" she roared in a bass-toned voice. "It's like you humans say, little dude. 'Dinosaur eats man, woman inherits the Earth!' MISSI ZILLA INHERITS HELL, MOTHERFUCKERS!" she then cackled unsheathing her claws.
Everybody in the group, with scared looks on their faces, clung onto each other hard, until...
A mysterious force slowly started tying up Missi by her arms like a lasso, and she immediately knew who it was. She turned around to see Alastor pulling her close to him.
"Alastor?" she gasped, going in and out of her hunger.
"I'm sorry, my love." he sighed, lowering his head as he turned on his full demonic powers.
"NO!" she screamed, before lunging at the group with one last roar as they screamed too.
But before she could attack them with her claws out, the rope tightened its grip on her, making her fall on her stomach.
As he dragged her closer to him, Alastor was now in his full demon form: a very thin giant with his arms widened, his smile grown bigger, and antlers popping out of his head as big as Zeezi once was.
"Balin! Look at me!" Loona told him in her nerves, as she moved his chin to her face. "And do not look away!"
Trying her hardest not to, Zeezi screamed so loud as Alastor then killed her, ripping her soul apart in two halves and sending those screams travelling straight into his microphone cane as if it was recording them.
At last, as things calmed down, Missi Zilla was no more and Alastor reverted to his original form.
"Once again, dear Zeezi, my deepest condolences." he said out loud to the cane. "If I wanted to hear screams, I most certainly wouldn't want to hear it from this little one. Or his band of misfits."
"Alastor?" the entire gang, including Via, said one by one.
"Who?" asked Balin.
